Wayfarer,
Congratulations on your progress and making this decision! We are here for you and understand. Don't assume it will get harder. I found drinking and its aftermath to be a lot harder in every way. When you step back from it and have some time under your belt, it's easier to see. It's like it takes over your rational mind.
Your story sounds very familiar to me. I also have a family, a spouse, kids, a good life.. somehow alcohol sucked me in. I hid it (or tried to) from my husband, family and friends. All the good and beautiful and meaningful and creative things I used to do fell by the wayside. There's only so much you can do in a day when you squander hours buying alcohol, sneaking it home, drinking it, sneaking the empties out, hiding the extent of it, sleeping horribly, waking up with a jolt, feeling sick, taking longer and longer to recover from it... then starting all over.
That's no way to live. So glad you recognized it. Quitting and staying quit is in your power! You can do it.
Keep posting.
